Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

The Okie from Muskogee's Comin' Home

Well, me and Roy Nichols

And couple other fellows in the band

Got to talking it over

Thought we'd take off a little time if we can

I don't mean to say I'm quitting

I'm just tired of making love to a telephone

I'm coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man

The Okie from Muskogee's coming home

Well, it's been twenty years of traveling

Twenty years of living out on the road

Learning this chorus and learning these songs

And paying up all these dues they said I owe

Now I may always be a rambler

And never lose the urge to roam

I'm coming home if I can find me a flight this morning, man

The Okie from Muskogee's coming home
